The University is set in the heart of the beautiful, safe and friendly city of Lincoln. The University of Lincoln is a forward-thinking, ambitious and international institution with high aspirations and strong record of widening participation in Higher Education.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the single commonest cause of entry into the renal replacement therapy programme and represents the leading cause of end-stage renal failure in diabetes. Characterised by both inflammation and fibrosis, transforming growth factor beta (TGF- β) is the key downstream pro-fibrotic mediator of glucose-evoked changes. Tubular epithelial cells normally form a highly coupled epithelial sheet held together by the adhesion molecule epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) that allows for inter-cellular communication through connexin (Cx)-mediated gap-junctions. There is crosstalk between Cx and adherens junction proteins and evidence suggests that a loss of ECAD expression in early stages of DN represents the beginning of a series of events that culminate in impaired cell-to-cell communication and dissociation of the epithelia. Altered connexin expression is paralleled by changes in gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and connexin mediated hemi-channel ATP release. We believe that aberrant Cx43 activity may facilitate increased inflammation of the proximal tubule through purinergic activation of the inflammasome in both resident tubular epithelial cells and infiltrating macrophages. Furthermore, we believe that inhibition of Cx43 mediated hemi-channel activity will negate ATP mediated purinergic activation of the inflammasome and prevent the exacerbation of inflammation and subsequent fibrosis.

Following generous support by the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD) and Boehringer Ingelheim programme for microvascular complications of diabetes, this interdisciplinary project will utilize high resolution AFM single-cell force spectroscopy and bio-sensing, to define the mechanisms by which glucose-evoked changes in TGF-β1 regulate cell-cell interactions in the diabetic kidney. The will identify novel therapeutic targets to improve future renal outcomes of the disease. The project, awarded to Dr Claire E. Hills and Professor Paul E. Squires is entitled ‘Connexin 43, a therapeutic target for inhibition of the inflammasome in the diabetic kidney’, will run for 18 months from November 1st, 2017 until June 29th 2019 and is part of a growing portfolio of diabetes research at the University of Lincoln.

The University of Lincoln’s contributions to the project will include ensuring long-term operation of the ILIAD system, maintaining its environment representations over time while learning and predicting activity patterns of human co-workers; developing qualitative models for human-robot spatial interaction; systems architecture development and systems integration; and managing experimental work at test facilities, including the University’s National Centre for Food Manufacturing.

We are looking to recruit a postdoctoral Research Fellow with relevant experience and/or a strong interest in research areas including (but not limited to):

· Long-term autonomy for mobile robots, including lifelong learning;

· Software engineering and deployment in Robotics;

· Systems integration, including ROS;

· Human-robot interaction;

· Learning for autonomous systems;

· Persistent navigation, mapping and self-localisation;

We are looking for applicants with a “systems perspective”, individuals who can bring together capabilities in perception, planning, and robot action into an integrated system. The successful candidate will be a true team player, motivated to exploit the scientific opportunities offered by studying robotic systems in real-world applications.

Applicants should have, or expect to soon obtain, a PhD in a relevant area. You must have excellent mathematical and coding skills (C++/Python, ROS). The Research Fellowship offers the opportunity to engage in international collaboration within an ambitious team, to work with state-of-the-art robotic hardware and software, and to benefit from excellent support to produce and disseminate original research contributions in the leading international conferences and journals.

The successful candidate will contribute to the University’s ambition to achieve international recognition as a research intensive institution and will be expected to design, conduct and manage original research in the above subject areas as well contribute to the wider activities of L-CAS. Evidence of authorship of research outputs of international standing is essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team, including excellent written and spoken communication skills. Opportunities to mentor and co-supervise PhD students working in the project team will also be available to outstanding candidates.

As an institutional Athena SWAN Bronze Award holder we are committed to advancing gender equality in STEM, therefore female applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.

The University of Lincoln is an ambitious and fast-growing academic community which has been awarded a TEF gold rating. Although established within the last twenty years, it already ranks among the Top 50 Universities in the UK (49th in Complete University Guide 2017), and has set itself the goal of a position in the Top 40 by the end of the decade. Lincoln’s History programme has already achieved that goal, and was ranked 17th by the Guardian (2018).

The School of History and Heritage forms part of the College of Arts and is located in the AAD Building at the University’s main Brayford campus beside a natural pool in the River Witham. The view is dominated by Lincoln’s magnificent Cathedral.

An opportunity now exists for an historian of modern Britain to join the School. Our ideal candidate will have an emerging or established track record of publications of a calibre to merit inclusion in the next REF exercise, a developing record of research grant applications. He or she will be an outstanding HE teacher or will demonstrate the potential to become one.

The successful candidate will join a thriving, friendly School with a strong collaborative research culture, with regular seminars and ongoing support for research activity, including funding for research and conference activities and a research leave scheme. In the 2014 REF, History performed well with 35% of history outputs rated 4*. We take teaching and student experience very seriously, and in NSS 2016 and again in 2017 the History programme was rated in the top ten nationally for overall satisfaction.

Lincoln is a wonderful city for scholars of all periods. It is home to Britain’s finest cathedral and a Norman castle. There are excellent local museums and galleries. The Lincolnshire Archives are a rich resource for modernists, and the Media Archive for Central England (MACE) is housed on campus. The School offers a friendly and welcoming working environment and a strong collaborative research culture, with regular seminars and ongoing support for research activity, including funding for research and conference activities and a research leave scheme.

This is a full-time (1.0FTE) permanent position offering employment from January 2018. The successful candidate will offer modules for our History programme (BA and MA), and may contribute to new BA programmes in the School. Arriving in the middle of the academic year, he or she will contribute to established modules in modern History at all levels during 2017-18, and will develop new modules for delivery in 2018-19.
